Capt'n Jack's Island Grill — Restaurant in Wildwood

There are TONS of great places to eat at the Jersey Shore. This place IS NOT one of them. We asked to sit inside, assuming it would be cooler than outside. We were seated upstairs and it was hot! Looked through the menu and decided on drinks. No waitress. Kept looking through the menu and decided on an appetizer. Still no waitress. Kept looking through the menu and decided on our entres. Still no waitress. After about 15 minutes (and that's a long time to wait to place a drink order) we went downstairs and out to the bar area outside. It was cooler out there. The waitress actually showed up. I ordered a Blue Hawaiian. Tasty drink but not strong. Since I didn't catch a buzz off the first, I begrudgingly (and I say that because of the price) ordered a second. Still no buzz. My husband had 2 CoronaRitas and was very happy with them. We ordered the buffalo chicken nachos. There was no kick to the buffalo sauce. Absolutely lousy. My husband got the Mediterranean salad and was pleased (not too hard to mess that one up). My son got the 5 mile panini and said it was good. I got the blackened tuna (it's a sandwich with a tuna steak). The tuna was WAY over cooked. The menu said cooked to medium, which is even too well done for tuna in my opinion. It was not cooked to medium. It was cooked to well. Yuck! Tuna should be medium rare (or rare! Yum!! Sashimi!). It was SO overly seasoned with Okd Bay that I had to scrape off the back of the steak just to eat it, which I could barely manage. Our meals came with crinkle fries that were more bland than fries that come with school lunch. Then the bill. 4 drinks, 1 app, 3 sandwiches came to a whopping $109! I don't mind paying good money for a great meal, or even a good meal but I was so disappointed that I regretted not stopping for a $1 slice of pizza a couple blocks down (it's actually really good). Horrible service (inside anyway), lousy food, and...

The atmosphere was awesome. Live music was really great. Not sure who was working the bar last night but the fishbowl was awful. And we had to send the classic margarita back. The 2nd one wasn’t much better. I opted for a lemonade at that point. 2 people at my table got the caronarita which they liked but buyer beware it was a $25 drink. We didn’t know until the bill came. The crab dip, crab cakes and crabby Mac n cheese was very very very fishy. Nobody at the table could finish those. They were actually pretty gross tasting and we were concerned with food poisoning because of how fishy they were. The kids Mac n cheese was al dente and the cheese grainy. But my kid ate it. The other wouldn’t touch it and just ate the green beans off my husbands plate. The crab cakes came with no tarter sauce. I got the chicken quesadillas which were ok but didn’t come with anything but fries. Had to ask for sour cream. Another adult at our table got the Buffalo chicken nachos. Not spicy and looked like it was microwaved to melt the cheese. We did get the guacamole and that was very good. Too spicy for the kids but the adults liked it. The waitress was nice. They’re understaffed so they are busting their humps. Not sure what was going on behind the scenes but I went to the ladies room and there was a waitress in the last stall crying. I felt so bad for her. In the end we thought dinner was gross and will not return. Buyer beware they charge a fee to use your credit card even if it’s your bank card. Our bill before tip was $95 and the other couple with us their bill was $126 before tip. We don’t mind spending that much on a good meal but this time it...

My friends and I are down on vacation and wanted to enjoy a nice lunch together. We came in for a late lunch and some drinks. We sat down and scanned the menus with everything picked out once our server came over to “greet” us. The server, Courtney, came over and poorly greeted us. We ordered drinks a mojito and fish bowl. I have a allergy to pineapple juice so we asked if it could be replaced with cranberry juice because we have had it there before. She rudely remarked, “I do not think they will taste good” so we nicely said, “oh we have had it before and loved it.” She brings the drinks back and the mojito was made with basil instead of mint but she never came to see how the drinks were so we were not able to tell her how they were. The food came out and everything was good but needed some extra condiments and the waitress never came to see how the food was so I had to find her ask for those things. Keep in mind, we sat and watched her check on the tables around us and walked straight past us, several times. After we finished our meal and drinks we were ready to pay and she was no where in sight, again. I went to find her and ask for the check but when I did she had a attitude and a slight eye roll before getting it for me. We had really been looking forward to a nice lunch and unfortunately the service...
